Hi Forum!
I have found this question:Find the horizontal line y=k that divides the area bounded by the curves and in two equal parts.

What I thought:
Get the bounded area.

...

Divide it by two
and calculate that with line k equaling 18
But, if we calculate
This is because we are going to subtract the same area more than once, right?
The answer is probably something around 3 and 6 then.
I am not sure how to continue.

Thanks! :)

If this is the way you want to solve the problem then I think you mean

Whaat, yes you are right. But I got the x for the y there!
I'm really sorry. hahahah :D
Thanks for the reply though,
I really didn't think there would be anyone online now.

Maybe y = 9? If so, why would the limits be [-3,3] when 'k' is introduced?

Maybe ?
